Mr. Griffith is among a group of attorneys who have repeatedly run for judgeships, partly to \bring God into the courtroom.\ which is not what most of us want in a person who is supposed to enforce the law – not represent the views of any particular religion.

It is incorrect of him (or Wersal or Tingelstadt) to say that the governor \chooses\ judges. An independent panel reviews possible appointees and recommends to the governor the one they believe would be the best judge. The governor appoints that person to his/her first term, after which the voters decide to keep or replace that appointee.
